In this talk, Alana Bartol will discuss her drawing and video works in Herbaria, which respond to landscapes impacted by
industrial extraction. Through research into native and invasive plant species, their site responsive practice explores how we might learn from the intelligence of plants and their importance within local ecologies. Central to Alana’s work is building relationships with plants. Courtesy of the Chatham-Kent Seed
Library, native plant seeds will be available to attendees.
Chandra Clarke is a volunteer with the David Suzuki Foundation Butterflyway Project. Her talk will focus on the importance of
pollinator-friendly gardens and native plants.
After viewing the Herbaria and On the Trail of the Monarch
Butterfly exhibitions, the CK Museum invites you to a screening
of Papalotzin – The Flight of the Monarch in Studio One,
Francisco Gutiérrez, as he flies his ultralight aircraft from
Montreal to Michoacán, in Mexico documenting the annual
migration of the Monarch butterfly. It is an adventure full of aerial
shots, animations and interesting people.
On the Trail of the Monarch Butterfly was produced by the
Canada Aviation and Space Museum in collaboration with the
Embassy of Mexico and is on display at the Chatham-Kent
Museum until October 12, 2025.
